Nia Black Belt Teacher

Seattle, Washington, United States

As a performing artist, body worker, and former fitness instructor, I know that movement is powerful medicine - and Nia has offered me the best medicine yet! Through inspiring music and intuitive choreopraphy, Nia provides us with the perfect playground to deepen our awareness of our bodies and how they want to move in order to heal and thrive.

For the past thirty years my path has been, and continues to be, an exploration of the magnificent human form. This comes from my love of the performing and healing arts. I began my journey as an aerobics/fitness instructor, then received my BFA in acting from Cornish College of The Arts, and went on to discover a rewarding twenty plus year path as a massage and craniosacral therapist specializing in connective tissue therapies.

I have been a Certified Whie Belt Insrtuctor since the fall of 2010 and recently completed my Black Belt in September 2017. Come dance, move and sweat with me! My intent in every Nia class is to create a safe and compelling field that enhances and empowers Your Joy of Movement.
